Sunday, September 27, 2026 -No fewer than 20 children formerly associated with Boko Haram have been reintegrated into communities in Borno State after completing a deradicalisation programme.
The beneficiaries, comprising 10 girls and 10 boys
classified as low-risk minors, received livelihood support and training in
business management, record-keeping, savings and business improvement.
The Programme Manager of the Allamin Foundation for Peace
and Development, Dadun Hamza, disclosed this on Saturday during the
reintegration exercise in Maiduguri.
Hamza said the children received business materials after
completing the training to enable them to start businesses, including welding,
shoemaking, tailoring, food vending, fabric and shoe sales, incense making and
grinding services.
He added that the foundation would monitor their progress to
support the sustainability of the businesses.
Hamza said 20 vulnerable women-headed households in the
communities where the children were reintegrated also received support to help
promote acceptance of the returnees.
